Hi Vanessa, Thorkil, Yes I'm afraid Hugs is unmaintained. If you look at that Hugs-Bugs thread, Neil was kind enough to reply, but it seems everyone is locked out of maintaining the site.
Isn’t hugs unmaintained? Cool stuff but definitely vintage!

(Nearly) gone, but not forgotten. There's a few people over the years have built from source, there's a few repos on github. With a bit of time on my hands lately ... I've built the wonderful WinHugs from source, so that I can fix a long-standing bit of bogusness in GHC. (GHC's behaviour is just not worth trying to make sense of.) And ref the discussion of GHC's awkwardness wrt Windows, WinHugs is just so nicely Windows-y, with a few-clicks install. Persuading (Win)Hugs to compile wasn't plain sailing, and there's a few of the libraries/packages have bitrotted beyond repair. But it is sooooo worth it, compared to the ugly GHC experience; plus you get a half-decent records system with Trex. (I've just been adding field label puns to it, to catch up with GHC.) AntC *
